    Absolutely not! It is normal for some types of dermatitis your skin can peel. Just wait till all the new barriers form and then the dead skin layers will all be natural peel off. While you are healing you can feel very dry so apply some moisturizers and don’t peel off the skin with your fingers, Thank you. READ MORE

  • Fingers have sores on them that won’t heal

    Hello, it might be a wart underneath or very close to the fingernail and if your husband keeps picking it, then it may get worse and end up with secondary inflection. The best thing to do is let the wart grow and get cryotherapy done from your PCP. However, don't forget to get a fungal study done as well for differential diagnosis. Thank you. READ MORE
